What We're Looking For: The Atomic 7

We hire for and recognize, reward, and grow the people who live our core values. This isn't corporate fine print-it's how we run our shifts, look out for each other, and win together:

• Caring - Put People First: We care deeply about our guests, our teammates, and the work we do. This means noticing guest needs before they ask and jumping in to help a teammate when the line gets slammed.
• Gritty - Show Passion and Perseverance: We bring serious determination to our work. We show up prepared, dependable, and ready to dominate a busy shift.
• Genuine - Communicate with Authenticity: We talk straight and treat everyone with respect. We speak openly with leaders and peers, and we give and receive constructive feedback so we can all get better.
• Humble - Learn, Support, and Grow: We leave egos at the door and treat mistakes as opportunities to learn. We focus on collective team success rather than personal spotlight.
• Inclusive - Make Everyone Feel Welcome: We value every single person. We treat every guest and coworker with total dignity, ensuring a welcoming, zero-pretension environment where everyone can thrive.
• Gracious - Lead with Kindness and Courtesy: We lead with kindness, even when it's chaotic. We stay calm, patient, and solution-focused when the pressure is on, keeping it professional at all times.
• Honest - Do the Right Thing: We act with integrity, plain and simple. We do the right thing and accurately follow our shift, timekeeping, and safety procedures-even when no one is watching.

A Note on How We Coach: We don't expect perfection, but we do expect effort. We use these 7 traits every day to coach our teams, celebrate wins, and adjust behaviors when we miss the mark.
